Heroism is everywhere: in headlines, in origin stories, in the quiet pressure we feel to live up to something. But what does it actually require of us? Not glory, not spectacle. In her poem “Heroism”, Charlotte Perkins Gilman says it's the grinding, lonely courage to think a new thought and live by it, even when the people you love can't follow you there yet. And underneath that courage, she finds something stranger — a love that can wound, that can lose, and still keep giving. Join us as we sit with what it means to be heroic in the life you are actually living. What are you holding onto that the world around you isn't ready for yet?
